Nier: Automata Cast Arrives in Dead by Daylight Today
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Nier: Automata characters 2B, A2, and Emil officially join Dead by Daylight today through a new cosmetic collection.
Square Enix is sending some of its most iconic RPG characters into the realm of asymmetrical horror. As reported by Polygon, the latest Dead by Daylight crossover brings 2B, A2, and Emil into The Fog starting today. Behaviour Interactive noted that the thematic overlap between the two universes made this collaboration a natural fit, particularly when exploring endless cycles of violence and suffering.
Rather than introducing entirely new standalone characters, this drop delivers deep cosmetic overhauls for existing fighters. Feng Min is stepping in with a Legendary 2B skin, while Yui Kimura is adopting the A2 look, complete with custom music, unique voice lines, and dedicated menu animations. On the Killer side, The Legion is receiving a Very Rare outfit inspired by Emil, bringing a wonderfully unsettling touch to matches for anyone hunting down survivors.
While fans continue to wait for a proper follow-up to the critically acclaimed RPG, series creator Yoko Taro has leaned into these multi-game crossovers with his usual brand of candid humor. For now, community members diving into the latest in-game store rotation can pick up the complete collection, which also features Pod 042 charms and custom portraits, making this a solid pickup for cross-platform players looking to refresh their loadouts.
